Abstract
The article offers information about the third phase of the Lighthouse Project, a research effort administrated by the Iowa Association of School Boards which aims to find out the connection between board leadership and student achievement. It mentions that the initiative revealed the difference between school boards and districts with higher level of student achievement and those with low ones in the first phase and looked on how boards learn to lead their districts to become high performing in the second stage. It relates that one of the positive effect of the project includes significant improvement in student learning.
